The PlugIn and main Band-in-a-Box program understand the terms "Bluesy", "Held", "Direct Input" and "Natural Arrangement".

The PlugIn and main program understand "Intro" to be bars at the beginning (start) of a song that are not used (do not repeat) anywhere else in a song. "Intro" is NOT automatically labeled by the PlugIn or program. It is understood by how you structure your song.

The PlugIn and main program understand "End" to be the last 2 bars (for MIDI) or last four bars (RealTracks) of the song that do not repeat.

"Simple" means use simple chords; don't use fancy chords. If you put an Emsus711 on the chord chart (I don't think that is a real chord) the PlugIn and program will likely playback a Em.

"Bluesy" means to take a straight 8 or straight 16 even pattern and to add just a little bit of a swing or shuffle feel to the pattern.

"Held" tells the PlugIn and program to get chords from the "Holds" folder instead of the RealTracks folder. On a piano it is the same as playing a chord and holding the sustain pedal down. For a guitar strum a chord and let the chord ring and decay naturally.

"Direct Input" means to use the bare signal from an instrument with no effects added. A guitar or bass is connected direct to the audio interface. No reverb or effects are added to a keyboard or piano.

"Natural Arrangement" means playback chord transitions like a musician would playback the transition. For example a guitar player might make a multi-note run from the #6 to #5 strings while transitioning from a "G" chord to a "C" chord.

Neither the PlugIn nor main program understand "Verse" or "Interlude". If you want the PlugIn or main program to understand those terms you need to make a request in the +++ Band-in-a-Box Wishlist +++ forum section.
